<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1763255498886New Project (30).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Three weeks into “<a href="http://pbb.abs-cbn.com"><strong><u>Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0</u></strong></a>,” the 20 charming and talented teen housemates are now down to 18 after Kapamilya and Kapuso housemates Reich Alim and Waynona Collings were evicted during the first-ever eviction night of this season.   </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>From “Saing King” to “Lugaw King” real quick! </strong></div><p>But before tears and shock filled Bahay ni Kuya due to the heartbreaking exit of the two girls, the November 15 episode commenced on a totally amusing note as this batch’s “Saing King,” Joaquin Arce, encountered a problem while cooking rice. It was supposed to be cooked into fried rice, but since he seemed to have put in more water than needed, it turned out to be very sloppy and sticky.  </p><div><iframe width="966" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bI0q7_E0kyk?si=S4o8K3jyCq7WVJAQ" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Fortunately, Sparkle artist Ashley Sarmiento came to his rescue, and they decided to simply cook lugaw (or rice porridge) out of it. Afraid that they might have screwed it up anew, which could lead to food wastage, Ashley and Joaquin added a special secret ingredient to it, which was prayers. Apparently, their teamwork, diskarte, and prayers all paid off as their lugaw turned out successful, with their housemates smiling and jumping for joy as they got a taste of it. </p><p>Thus, because of this happy accident, Joaquin has earned the new title of “Lugaw King.” </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>PBB Teens! The Miguel-Eliza-Marco love triangle </strong></div><p>For those waiting for any update about the continuously growing friendship between Kapuso housemate Marco Masa and Kapamilya housemate Eliza Borromeo, another clip from one of their bonding moments together was shown in this episode, wherein they were seen playing a modified “Truth or Dare Game.” </p><p>Both of them took it as an opportunity to ask intriguing questions to one another, like how Marco shows his admiration to a girl and what Eliza’s fellow Star Magic artist Miguel Vergara should do in order to make her feel sure about how she actually feels for him. </p><p>Since he’s well aware that there is already something romantic going on between them, not to mention that he’s also friends with Miguel ever since their child star days, Marco asked Eliza to let him know if he’s already overstepping so that he can distance himself.  </p><p>But Eliza assured him that he’s not, and that the reason why she has suddenly become confused is herself and not him and everything that he had told her. Marco went on to tell her that he wants to protect whatever they have because he likes it, as well as what he and Miguel have.  </p><p>Eliza eventually decided to go to the girls’ bedroom, wherein she released her kilig following her conversation and embrace with him. Marco, on the other hand, opened up his inner thoughts and feelings regarding his situation with Eliza to fellow Sparkle artist John Clifford, who advised him to be patient and deal with things slowly but surely. </p><p>They had the chance to talk again, wherein Marco conveyed that he doesn’t want to ruin anything since both Eliza and Miguel are his friends, and told her, “Kung ano’ng nararamdaman mo, kung ano’ng nararamdaman niya ngayon, it’s my priority kasi it’s you, guys, [who] had something, and I just came in.”</p><div><iframe width="966" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kGu4LoI6ylM?si=DFcNQ3n-_r5hCKkV" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>He further advised her, “Huwag ka masyadong mag-overthink. Try to get some time for yourself to reflect on how you actually feel. Me, I&#x27;m just gonna be here. Ayoko lang magkaroon ng awkwardness sa atin kasi ‘yong friendship natin, it’s something I care about, lalo na for you.”</p><p>Seeing that she was sulking all by herself at the corner where she and Marco were talking just a few moments ago, her closest friends and fellow Star Magic artists Reich Alim, Krystal Mejes, and Carmelle Collado checked on her and consoled her.</p><p>During her conversation with Big Brother inside the confession room, he advised her that although her feelings are valid, there are things in life that shouldn’t be rushed because the right time will surely come for them. For now, it’s better if she takes the time to get to know both Miguel and Marco, as well as to discern their real intentions for her. Kuya reminded her, “Ang pagkakaibigan na pinanday ng oras at sinimulan ng mabuting intensyon, ‘yon ang mananatili kahit lumipas pa man ang mahabang panahon.” </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Housemates learn about the devastating news about Typhoons Tino and Uwan </strong></div><p>Since they’ve already been inside the house for three weeks now, the housemates were certainly oblivious about the latest happenings in the country, such as the havoc caused by typhoons “Tino&quot; and &quot;Uwan.&quot; While they were supposed to not have any form of contact with the outside world, “PBB” made an exception this time as they informed them about it by having them watch a newscast that reported the said consecutive disasters.</p><div><iframe width="966" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1pa3tV9JXiY?si=rAnfMGw1e22NC13h" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The housemates were visibly crestfallen upon hearing and seeing the massive damage left by the two strong typhoons in different parts of the country, especially Carmelle Collado, Krystal Mejes, Fred Moser, Lella Ford, and John Clifford, who couldn’t help but get worried and emotional as their respective hometowns were among those severely hit. But Kuya assured them that although that was the case, their loved ones were safe and in good situations, which made them feel relieved.  </p><p>Even though they were inside the house, “PBB” still gave the housemates an opportunity to help with the typhoon victims by bringing in boxes of relief goods from ABS-CBN Foundation and GMA Kapuso Foundation, which the Kapamilya and Kapuso artists had repacked. Nominated housemates Princess Aliyah, Reich Alim, and Waynona Collings expressed their elation for still being able to extend help to their kababayans even in a small way. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>The first eviction night </strong></div><p>As much as we would have wanted them to be complete and together until the very end of the competition, we all know that that’s not how “PBB” works. And for the very first eviction night of this edition, Kapamilya housemate Reich Alim and Kapuso housemate Waynona Collings were the first ones to bid goodbye and go back to the outside world.  </p><div><iframe width="966" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6fWLSUr4cbc?si=3aw00ADmjDzbArQv" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The official tally of votes revealed that it was astonishingly a landslide victory for Fred after he obtained 88.31% of the total votes, while Reich only got 11.69%. On the other hand, Princess was able to defeat Waynona after receiving 56.94%, while the latter got 43.06%.</p><div><iframe width="966" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AiYdj6BnVB8?si=NqQ3bMgo84pDpkwB" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Before sending them off to the outside world, Big Brother spoke with Reich and Waynona first inside the confession room and showed them separate montages of some of the memorable moments they had inside Bahay ni Kuya, which served as his “pabaon” for them.  </p><div><iframe width="966" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ETGEJEJqAHs?si=39NmzmUsPNVSXwtL" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>He imparted how the “Dependable Daughter ng Makati” had impressed him with her big heart, most especially to her loved ones, and her courage in facing not just the tasks he had given but also her misunderstandings with her housemates.  </p><p>The same as the “Ate de Pamilya ng Quezon City,” who amazed him with her bravery to open her heart to others and to take on the challenges inside the house. Kuya wished that as they both return to the outside world, they may bring with them the learnings and memories they had acquired, as well as continue reaching their dream and confront whatever lies ahead of them with steadfastness.  </p><p>Aside from their supporters and the “<a href="http://pbb.abs-cbn.com"><strong><u>PBB Collab 2.0</u></strong></a>” hosts, Reich and Waynona were also welcomed by their respective loved ones outside Bahay ni Kuya, which made them more emotional. It was her older brother Wayne for Waynona, while it was her Mommy Baby for Reich. When asked by host Bianca Gonzalez to describe their “PBB” experience in one word, Reich said that it was “amazing,” while it was “eventful” for Waynona.</p><div><iframe width="966" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AsLFWf-3qnA?si=idt0-sU0N4mmVdeQ" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>How will the departure of Waynona and Reich affect Kuya’s household? What challenges await the remaining 18 housemates? Let’s all find out by not missing the upcoming episodes of “<a href="http://pbb.abs-cbn.com"><strong><u>PBB Collab 2.0</u></strong></a>”, which can be watched online via livestreams on the PBB YouTube Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb"><strong><u>iWant</u></strong></a>.</p>
